Evinrude Outboard Serial Number Look Up

[Josephina]

Ihave a 1953 (I believe based on serial #) Evinrude Fastwin 15HP model 15012. I am looking for some or any information about this motor? It ran last summer and is in pretty good condition for a motor of its age. There is a vintage outboard motor show in Detroit this weekend and I was going to bring it with me and see if I can sell it to anyone who may appreciate it more. I have looked on ebay and all over google and just find parts for sale. I am just wondering if anyone may know a fair number for something like this?

The motor is in fair condition cosmetically. If the motor runs well and you have a functional pressure tank, then you could get about 150 to 200 dollars. If the motor currently does not run and needs ignition parts replaced, then you are looking at about 100 dollars plus or minus $25 dollars. The motor you have is not a rare motor at all, but for a 15hp 2stroke it is lighter than most 15hp motors and makes a good fishing motor.

This list includes original numbers from boat props for Evinrude Outboard Motors, Johnson Outboard Motors, Force Outboard Motors, Mercury Outboard Motors, Mercruiser Sterndrives, Suzuki Outboard Motors, Tahatsu Outboard Motors, Yamaha Outboard Motors, OMC Sterndrives, and Honda Outboard Motors. Most of the original replacement boat props listed are Quicksilver Propellers by Mercury Marine.

Mercury 2 Stroke Outboards & the Optimax

Mercury Marine has been producing outboard motors for 75 years which encompasses many very important innovations to the marine industry. Based on this history the Mercury name itself is associated to outboard motors much like Kleenex is to tissue. Looking back 69 years to 1948 this is when the initial modern era outboard motor was introduced by Mercury Marine. This 2 stroke outboard was offered in an inline 4 cylinder configuration and offered an entirely new level of performance and durability. However, just 6 short years later they introduced the first 2 stroke outboard motor that boasted having 1 Hp per Cubic Inch of engine displacement. The sister engine to the 40 Hp was the first 6 cylinder 60 Hp outboard which was considered by many to be the most powerful outboard of it's time. Fast forwarding 40 years marked another milestone for Mercury Marine when they introduced the first 3.0L displacement outboard when hit the scales at 225 Hp.

Fast forward to the early 1990's and outboard motor emissions were becoming a dominating conversation within the Marine Industry. The conversation hinged around whether or not 2 stroke outboard motors were even capable of meeting the desired emissions standards being discussed. Around 1996 Mercury Marine introduced the Direct Fuel Injected (DFI) Optimax line of 2 stroke outboards which were developed using a technology co-developed along with an Australian company named Orbital.

Mercury 4 Stroke Outboards & the Verado

Although most of the visible focus between the mid 1990's and mid 2000's was dedicated towards the 2 stroke outboards, there was significant work being done behind the scenes to develop Mercury Marine's long-term strategy towards their 4 stroke outboard lineup. While most other outboard manufacturers were developing larger displacement, heavier outboard motors Mercury was concerned that the weight would be something 2 stroke customers would not be willing to compromise on. Especially with Bass Boat customers the power to weight advantages of the 2 stroke outboards was the most critical characteristic they considered when comparing outboard motors in general. Over the next several years Mercury focused on developing their 200 Hp - 300 Hp outboard lineup utilizing smaller displacement, inline 6 cylinder super charged line of 4 stroke outboard motors. This outboard platform was specifically aimed at targeting the undesirable power to weight issue with most 4 cycle outboards. The Verado Outboard lineup was released in 2004 and is still in production today with the 350 Hp version being released in 2015 not to be outdone by the 400 Hp Verado released in 2016.

Today advancement in engine technology has progressed exponentially since the mid 1990's and is now allowing outboard manufacturers to take advantage of technologies which are allowing them to produce even smaller and lighter naturally aspirated 4 stroke outboards.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds as the overall outboard boating market been trending towards even more powerful, and bigger 4 stroke outboard motors. Today Yamaha offers a large displacement 350 Hp outboard and Seven7Marine is offering a 627 Hp outboard. It's safe to assume that Mercury Marine is likely developing a larger displacement 4 stroke outboard to take the place of the Verado Outboard Model Lineup.

In today's world of online Marine Product Companies you will see a lot of "Big Box" retailers not only selling Mercury Outboard Parts but also selling Books, Furniture & Telephone Accessories. How do you even begin to compare the technical complexity of Outboard Motor Parts to a telephone accessory or a book? Mercury Marine Parts are no different. than any other manufacturer's products, they require technical expertise behind the product. Otherwise Mercury Marine and the other outboard manufacturers wouldn't require their dealers to maintain annual training certification levels. You wouldn't want to purchase your technical Mercury Marine Parts from a retailer that also sells other non-technical products would you? For example, regularly scheduled Outboard Motor maintenance is one of the most important factors in determining the life expectancy of your Mercury Outboard. Using OEM Mercury Marine Parts is not only something Boater's should consider but a "Best Practice" recommendation from our point of view. There are several instances when After-Market Mercury Marine Parts can be a good alternative to the original OEM products. However, your Mercury Marine Parts supplier needs to be more than just a retailer. Rather we recommend only buying Mercury Marine Parts from an authorized Mercury Marine Dealer. Not only is PPT an authorized dealer for Mercury Marine, but we the technical background having been product design engineers for Mercury Marine for a combined 30+ years.

Regarding regular maintenance of the water pump impeller, all of the "Big 5" outboard motor manufacturers including Mercury Marine Outboard's, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and Evinrude recommend inspecting, if not replacing the water pump impeller every 1 to 2 years or 100 hours of usage. It's also worth mentioning here that the Inboard and Sterndrive Marine Engine manufacturer's such as MerCruiser and Volvo Penta also recommend similar water pump impeller maintenance procures on their Marine Products as well.

When you stop and think about the design of any standard "Open Style Marine Cooling System" you need to think about the various debris that can be picked up by the water pump and end up inside of the outboard motor. Depending on the conditions you operate your boat in, its not uncommon for boaters to suck up plastic bags, grass, weeds, etc all of which can limit the amount of water to the engine. Unfortunatley, the most common way boaters realize this scenario is happening is when the alarm sounds and they shut down the outboard motor. However, by the time the alarm sounds damage may have already occurred. Understanding that this damage is cumulative in many cases, it sheds light on the importance of maintaining a properly functioning water pump impeller and overall Marine Cooling System.

Understanding how the water pump and impeller functions by design involves utilizing a specific amount of "controlled" friction between the water pump body and the impeller. As the blades of the impeller are deformed the water volume area between the blades changes which in effect allows the pressure to be lowered as the area inside of the pump changes from smaller to greater. This lower pressure differential is what allows water to flow in the direction from higher to lower pressure. In summary this is basic functioning of a positive displacement outboard motor water pump. However, it is so critically important that once water is limited to the water pump this friction increases exponentially between the impeller and water pump body which then introduces heat, and ultimately the breakdown of the water pump impeller. Once this happens the material characteristics of the impeller change and are such that it is no longer able to create the needed "low" pressure draw to pump water as it was designed. Therefore, this ultimately results in lower water flow and if bad enough an outboard motor overheat situation.
